Since 1844, Japan has ceased to be an independent country, and the imperial army has destroyed the shogunate, and even the emperor has been eliminated. Since then, Japan has been reduced to a colony of the Empire. The Empire's colonial governors were in charge of it, and some local Japanese people were supported to commit traitors, thus forming the Empire's ruling system in Japan.

Without the emperor and the general, the Japanese were confused all of a sudden, and the whole of Japan was in chaos for two or three years. After all, the empire stationed tens of thousands of troops in Japan, and the four powerful feudal domains that defected to the empire also sent troops to suppress it, which made Japanese society remain stable.

After Japan became a colony of the empire, it was not without benefits, at least, people's lives were getting better and better. Among other things, Japan was originally a country that could not even be self-sufficient in food. More than 20 million people are crowded on a few small islands, and the land is mountainous, and there are many earthquakes and volcanoes, and it is not uncommon for famine to occur.

However, the empire has too much food to eat. Although the population of the empire grew rapidly, the grain harvested from the South Seas and Indochina Peninsula, as well as the food production of the empire in North America and other places, was enough for the common people of the empire to consume. The surplus grain, sold a little to the Japanese, is enough for them. Of course, the Japanese are very poor, and if you want food, you have to work hard.

With the development of imperial industry, some highly polluting industries have gradually migrated to Japan, and a large number of labor-intensive industries have also been transferred to Japan, making full use of Japan's cheap labor resources. However, there is an industry that requires a certain amount of technology. The empire was strictly forbidden to move to Japan. Although now Japan has become a colony of the empire, a protectorate. But these Japanese are simply white-eyed wolves that can't be raised, and Long Yufei doesn't want the Japanese to become stronger. Make trouble for the Empire again.

Although the empire built many factories in Japan, it was impossible for all Japanese to have jobs. As a result, many Japanese people had to go to work in the Empire. Every year, the empire has a lot of infrastructure and needs a lot of workers. Some of the more dangerous positions are often done by prisoners of war and natives of the South Seas. However, the prisoners of war and the natives always ran out one day, and the cheap workers from Japan became their best substitutes. These Japanese. You don't have to treat them as human beings at all, even if you die on the construction site, you can just give a little pension. Anyway, the Japanese are used to being poor, and the very little wages and pensions in the eyes of the imperial people are already considered very good.

Of course, those Japanese women who have a bit of good looks have another way out. There were quite a few people in the empire who specialized in related work, and they went to Japan to bring these beautiful women to work in the red light district of the empire. Anyway, Japanese people don't care too much about that aspect, as long as they can make money. I don't care at all. Even their families may not be able to hold their heads up at first. But when it comes to living a good life with the money these Japanese women earn, no one cares about it. As a result, more and more Japanese people are joining the ranks.

In order to consolidate the rule of the empire in Japan. The Imperial Empire practiced slavery education in Japan. The Japanese language and script are all spoken in Chinese and kanji. All schools teach Chinese and Chinese characters. And, the Imperial Governor-General's Office in Japan stipulated. Only those who have received a Chinese language education can serve as public officials at all levels of government in Japan. As a result, the Japanese have to take the initiative to learn Chinese and Chinese characters. It is estimated that it will not be long before these Japanese people will be completely assimilated.

Imperial rule in Japan. With the exception of garrisons and taxes, they were all done by Japanese traitors who had defected to the empire. The Onodera family is in charge of government affairs, and Onodera Jiro is still the administrative officer of the Japanese Governor's Office of the Imperial People's Life. Japan's security forces were in charge of Mori Keikin, Shimazu Qixing, Yamauchi Toyoto, Nabeshima Shigeshige and others, each commanding 5,000 people, responsible for Japan's stability. As for the Imperial garrison, it was mainly garrisoned by some fortresses. However, from the end of 1858, the Imperial garrison in Japan was changed from one infantry corps to two infantry corps, totaling more than 70,000 men. The new Japanese governor became a major general of the Imperial Army, commander of the 15th Army, Chen Ziqing. He was originally an officer of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but he defected to the empire during the War of Unification. Now, he has become a high-ranking general of the empire.

Originally, it was the 29th Army of the Imperial Army that was stationed in Japan. It's just that the shape of Japan seems to have changed now, so the 15th Army was stationed in Japan in the name of changing defenses. However, the 29th Army showed no signs of returning home. After all, Japan is a country with a population of more than 20 million and nearly 30 million, and even though they have been domesticated by China for more than a decade, the wildness in their bones has not been eliminated. If the Japanese repeat something, it will inevitably cause great turmoil. The Imperial Army's deployment of more than 30,000 infantry troops in Japan really couldn't make any waves. Even if there are more than 70,000 people in two armies, it is not much. Therefore, several infantry corps directly under the General Staff are ready. As soon as the situation in Japan changed, the navy would immediately escort them to Japan to suppress the rebellion.

Edo, the largest city in Japan, was also the seat of the Imperial Governor's Palace in Japan. After more than a decade of development, Edo is much larger and more prosperous than it was during the shogunate's reign. However, the most developed industry in Edo is the service industry, and the casinos and green houses are famous all over the world. Guests from the Empire and from all over the world spend a lot of money here every day, which makes the Empire collect a lot of taxes in this regard. Although the empire did not ban casinos and green houses, the taxes were very high. Once there is tax evasion and tax evasion, if they are caught, they will be directly sentenced to ten years and eight years, and all property will be confiscated. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to force good people to become prostitutes. Once discovered, it is often a matter of eating guns.

In addition, the territory of the empire is so large now, and there are many people of other races on the territory of the empire in addition to the Chinese. There are quite a few women among the Japanese and whites, as well as among the natives. Naturally, I will not harm my compatriots.

When the Japanese are poor and can't even afford to eat, they don't have any thoughts, they are tired and tired all day long, as long as they fill their stomachs. However, once the problem of survival is solved, all kinds of people gradually pop up. In addition, there are people who are interested in fueling the troubles, which undoubtedly makes the situation in Japan more responsible.

In the Imperial Governor's Mansion in Japan, the Governor-General, Major General Chen Ziqing, summoned the political officials Onodera Jiro, Mori Keikin, Shimazu Saiko, Yamauchi Toyoto, and Nabeshima Shigeshige, among others. The headquarters of the 29th Army of the Imperial Army was in Kyoto, so the commander did not come to this meeting. However, communication within the Empire* military is certainly much smoother.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the past 10 years, Japan's economy has developed rapidly, not to mention that everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, but at least no one is starving to death anymore. The life of Japanese people is much better now than it was more than 10 years ago. Major General Chen Ziqing said.

"Thank you to the merciful Emperor Xià, if it weren't for the Emperor Majesty's Japan in fire and water, where would the Japanese be able to live a good life now!" Administrative Officer Onodera Jiro said hurriedly.

The faces of the other generals were a little unnatural. They are not like Onodera Jiro, who is a civil official, and as military generals, their bones are harder after all. At the beginning, they took refuge in the Chinese Empire, which was a last resort. After all, at that time, the Chinese Empire was so powerful that even the Shogunate was destroyed by the Chinese Empire, and if they resisted, wouldn't it be an egg to hit a stone? However, they were very dissatisfied with the execution of the emperor by the Chinese Empire and the implementation of colonial rule in Japan at the same time.

However, these generals did not dare to show it. Although they have an army of 5,000 men, it may actually be more than that. However, it can't be compared with the regular army of the Chinese Army at all! In particular, there are not only one infantry corps but two infantry corps stationed in Japan now, and even if they want to resist, they are doomed to failure.

"However, Your Excellency Onodera, there are many Japanese people who don't seem to be grateful for the Empire!" Chen Ziqing's words changed.

"My lord, how is this, how is this possible? How could Japan have lived such a good life without the help of the Empire, and how could those guys be ungrateful? Onodera Jiro stammered a little.

Chen Ziqing smiled, obviously disagreeing with this statement of Onodera Jiro. After all, the Chinese Empire practiced colonial rule in Japan, and although the lives of these Japanese were much better, their relatives suffered at home or earned it back as prostitutes. It is almost impossible to expect these Japanese to be grateful to the Empire. I guess there are many Japanese who want to rebel against the colonial rule of the empire! As the Imperial Governor in Japan, he was not at all unaware of the situation in Japan. The Imperial Military Intelligence Agency has been monitoring the situation in Japan for some time, and now it has discovered that something is wrong. Today, he convened this meeting just to give everyone a wake-up call.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I won't say much else. The strength of the empire is well known to everyone. It would be impossible to try to confront the Empire with some careful thinking. The best outcome can only be suppressed by the Empire. Chen Ziqing said coldly.

These Japanese, including Jiro Onodera, naturally promised that they would never do something ungrateful. (To be continued......)
